Go figure, but go Shows Tuesdays through Sundays at nine-thirty and eleven- thirty, Fridays and Saturdays at nine-thirty, eleven-thirty, and one. DUPLEX, 61 Christopher St., at Seventh Ave. (255-5438)-A two-floor entertainment cen- ter. The bright, clean, wedge-shaped down- stairs bar has French windows giving on to the bustle of Seventh Avenue, but the clamor indoors is far greater. Everyone is a star here-the pianist, the bartender, and the waitresses sing/shout pop standards with risque lyrics and fire off wisecracks across the room; patrons are encouraged to take the mike b too. Upstairs there's a quieter bar and a ca aret, where you'll find a variety of performers nigh tly. EAGLE TAVERN, 355 W. 14th St. (924-0275)-An Irish bar, way out on the Western edge of town, where the great potholed boulevards turn to cobblestones, and the world across the Hudson flashes its come-hither signs. Morning Star performs on July 10. Sets at nine and ten-thirty on Friday and at eight on Saturdays. FAT TUESDAY'S, 190 Third Ave., at 17th St. (533-7902)-Through the iffy-looking side door, down the famous fun-house tunnel that's lined with mirrors and corrugated tin l and down a short flight of stairs, you'll fino this softly lit, low-ceilinged, roughly Man- hattan-shaped jazz preserve. Pianist KENNY BARRON, whose compositions have been re- corded by Dizzy Gillespie and James Moody, among others, leads a quintet here through July 14. The Mingus Dynasty starts up on July 15. On Mondays, guitarist-inventor LES PAUL, the Thomas Edison of reverb, leads a trio. Music from eight. Dining. KNICKERBOCKER, 33 University PI., at 9th St. (228-8490)-A busy bar-and-gril1 in the piano-bass district. The musicians set up in the dining room, a clubby-looking space with leather banquettes and well-preserved col- lectibles: Sunday Herald Tribune covers, FIrst World War posters, Hirschfeld cartoons Up front, at the bar, you can keep your eye on the musicians, the conversationalists, and sidewalk life. Stride pianist JUDY CARMICHAEL and saxophonist MIKE HASHIM, who are regu- lars here, perform July 8-11, and RUSS KASOFF starts up on July 15 Music from about nine-thirty. LONE STAR ROADHOUSE, 240 W. 52nd St. (245- 2950)-An improbably located honky-tonk with a Wright Brothers-era auplane sus- pended from the ceiling, a dance floor where you can kick up some dust, and a balcony for quiet types. LEO NOCENTELLI is here on July 9, and British singer BILLY BRAGG comes in on July 14. Over the past eight years, Bragg has made a handful of indispensable albums, the most recent of which is "Don't Try This at Home." Anyone who still thinks of Bragg as a sort of socialist novelty act-an ideo- logue with a hard Cockney accent and a scrappy guitar-is likely to be suprised by what he's been doing lately. "Don't Try This at Home" includes the blithe pop single "Sexuality," which Bragg wrote wIth former Smith Johnny Marr, and the wheeling, coun- try-tinged "You Woke Up My Neighbor- hood," which he penned with Peter Buck, of R.E.M. Bragg has a goofy, self-effacing man- ner but he loves to talk politics onstage, and one is likely to hear some well-chosen words about the Bush White House. Music after nine. Dining. MANNY'S CAR WASH, 1558 Third Ave. at 87th St (369-2583)-A bright spot on the little- heralded Upper East Side club scene. Don't go expecting to be sprayed with soapy water and massaged by large brushes: the fl uores- cent sign outside is the only car-wash refer- ence. Inside, the place looks like an adman's idea of a blues bar JUNIOR WELLS is here on July 9; Johnny & the Headhunters come in July 10-11; the POPA CHUBBY BLUES BAND ap- pears on July 12. Sets from nine-fifteen, except Sundays, when they begin at eight- forty- five. MARQUEE, 547 W. 21st St. (929-3257)-A rock club, just off the West Side Highway, that is one of the city's main venues for college-radio fare METAL CHURCH is here on July 7 at nine. MICHAEL'S PUB, 211 E. 55th St. (758-2272)- There's more to Michael's Pub than Woody Allen, whose Monday-night Dixieland binges have given the place a little star cachet. This month, New Orleans sounds can be heard here on other nights, too, thanks to a seven- piece ensemble that includes pianist Terry Waldo, trumpeter Bill Dillard, and clarinet- tist Orange Kellin. Shows Tuesdays through Saturdays at nine-fifteen and eleven-fifteen. RITz, 254 W. 54th St. (541-8900)-This space was once a theatre, as the cherubim friezes and Louis the Somethin ceiling attest. Then It was Studio 54, and, If you try rea] hard l you can still hear the grunts, moans, ana snorts of seventies disco ghosts. THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH, which performs on July 8, is led by former Housemartins Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway. The group plays a disarmingly pleasant sort of pop, over which they layer some fairly caustic, head-turning lyrics. Their latest record, "0898," is an entirely winning effort. CHARLATANS U.K. come in on July 10, and spoof-meister WEIRD AL Y ANKOVIC performs on July 11. Yankovic made his name back in the eighties with parodies of Madonna and Michael Jackson hits, and this time around he's pushing a record called "Smells Like NIrvana." Nirvana isn't the easiest target in the world-their album continues to aston- ish even as we all get sick to death of reading about it-and Yankovic's parody is a pretty lame stab at Kurt Cobain's garbled lyrics. Yankovic fares even worse elsewhere on his new album, such as when he sends up songs we've forgotten already, like "Rico Suave," by the sugarcoated rapper Gerardo. Show times vary. SONG OF SINGAPORE THEATRE, 17 Irving Pl, at 15th St.-This is the new home of the Swing Dance Society a group of Lindy Hop enthu- siasts who've been putting on Sunday-night dance parties for several years now (the Cat Club was their former home base). Swing music at a mock forties Singapore night club-the musical "Song of Singapore" was put on here-may sound lIke an odd juxta- position, but who cares? Strike up the band, which, on July 12, wIll be Loren Schoenberg's big band. Sets begin at eight. For informa- tion on the Society, call 696-9737. SWEET BASIL, 88 Seventh Ave. S., at Bleecker St. (242-1785)-If you arrive late for a show at this celebrated shrine of jazz, you run the risk of being seated in the glass-enclosed terrace, which means you'll need a periscope to see the show. Otherwise, Sweet Basil is just the right environment for patrons- chiefly because it has a silence-or-else policy during shows. The PETER LEITCH quintet is here through July 12, and GIL GOLDSTEIN and ZEBRA COAST begin a week-long gig on July 14. An electrified big band belongIng to trumpeter MILES EVANS is in action on Mondays. Tee-off time is ten. Dining. VILLAGE VANGUARD, 178 Seventh Ave. S., at 11th St. (255-4037)-This windowless, slice-of-pie- shaped basement has an illustrious history that embraces everyone from Judy Holliday to Lenny Bruce, from Pete Seeger and Lead- belly to Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins. The CHARLES MC PHERSON quartet is here through July 12, and pianist AHMAD JAMAL comes In for a week on July 14. Mondays are reserved for the VANGUARD JAZZ ORCHESTRA.
